Harnser Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 You dont want to be trying to winkle primers out of live cartridges . The only safe way to doit is to shoot it off or to empty the contents , powder and shot and wad ,shoot the primer off in your gun and then knock out the fired primer with a decapping tool or a nail .

humperdingle Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'd say the brass would look more attractive with a primer in it (Spent of course). Unless you're planning on fillng the hole somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Put a drop of WD40 on it. It will kill the primer stone dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff-TRG Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Put a drop of WD40 on it. It will kill the primer stone dead. Unless you apply the oil to the inside/exposed side of the primer this will not work. Oil on the outside of a round/primer is very very unlikely to reduce the primers effectiveness.

Dunkield Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Just shoot the cartridge then take primer out - or have I missed something?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Sam Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Just to warn you, if you empty the cartridge, then fire it with just the primer it makes the most horrible sooty mess of your barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yes they do, I could tell you at least 2 stories about putting them on fires as well but I won't I meant shoot it in then normal way, or easier still just get hold a shot one, unless this one is very special of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbart Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Another one for the "ministry of silly questions" catagory ! And possibly a few answers for the "Ministry of dangerous answers" Either shoot it and use it or think of something else "special" to use on your stick.

MC Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 as title, i want the brass casing for my stick No one has mentioned that unless it is a very old cartridge it won't be brass anyway. It will be be rusty in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 No one has mentioned that unless it is a very old cartridge it won't be brass anyway. It will be be rusty in a few days. Very true. In fact even the moisture off hands will turn it a bit messy after a while unless a lacquer is applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) I don't get why you'd want a primerless shotgun cartridge sat on top of your stick... Just shoot it, Simple. I can just picture him trying to tap it out with a hammer and a screwdriver in the living room whilst the missus is watching Coronation Street. An almighty bang goes off and he has a face that's black with soot. Edited February 24, 2009 by harfordwmj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think you would be better off getting a nice antler or something to finish off your stick. I made a couple of wigeon calls fom spent cartridges but it isnt long before they start to go rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mec 9000 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Over the years I have deprimed thousands of live cases with my machine which will do 500 per hour if needed. If you want to deprime quite a few then buy a Lee Loadall which has a depriming station for spent primers but will also do live primers without a problem. It is better if pressed out rather than tapped out. I you want a few PM me with your needs and I will do them for you or if you want an unfired case with spent prime I can do that for you. On the other hand if you want a case without primer sit case on raised area with room for primer to fall through place a long bolt over primer and tap out with a hammer.

Cushat Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 You can buy proper brass end caps from stick dressing places - usually see them at game fairs but sure someone on here will point you in the direction of where to buy one - you might as well do the job properly and it'll only cost you a couple of quid.
